Murat Akand

At the beginnig I saw a diomond-shaped icon but then I erased it. How can I put these icon to the Gantt chart to determine a specific date such as release of a product??? Can somebody help me please??

Make the duration of the task/milestone "0".

Thank you for your advice... I tried but I couldn't do it. I erased the start and end date, and then the task is completely gone!!!    

If you know how to do, could you please be more specific??

Thanks a lot....

Dear Murat,

 

The diamond shape means that the specific row refers to a milestone, and as such it does not have "duration", so it should be '0' - as Chris wrote. You shouldn't have erased the start and end dates. Once duration is set to '0', they will automatically be set to the same dates, and the diamond will appear on the Gantt Chart.

To add a milestone (diamond icon) the start and end dates need to be the same date and the duration needs to be 0

Dear Atus,

 

Thank you very much for your explaining. I again tried it like you said. But, still it doesn't work....  

I think I'm technology-disabled....
